Wearing gold and silver together

[oddoneout]

I''ve done a search about wearing gold and silver together (as in stacking) and I found only a bit of information. I''m sure the experts out there have some good info. Is it ok to wear silver and gold together or does it damage one or the other?

Silver is a softer metal. But I think it would depend on the design as to whether one would hurt the other. If there is a smooth edge up against another smooth edge, I wouldn''t worry about it. But if one is made so it could scratch the other, then I wouldn''t wear them together. Of course, I''d apply this to wearing any two items together.

Agreed...anytime you wear items together they will wear at the contact areas....constant wear will show wear eventually on these metals.Sleeping,showering or labor will speed up the grinding away process.

Its okay to wear them together, its not a big no no but... you have to be kind to them. Don''t do dishes,showering,or sleep with them on etc....
